version of Ansel Adams&#8217; black-and-white Moonrise, Hernandez, New Mexico (1941).<\/li>\n<li>The sale of editions of this colourised version at prices ranging from $6,000 to $10,000 has generated significant backlash from artists, gallerists, and Adams\u2019s trust.<\/li>\n<li>Danziger\u2019s defence hinges on the argument that Adams\u2019s 1941 photograph is in the public domain, allowing unrestricted usage and modification.<\/li>\n<li>The uproar extends beyond the controversial use of AI to include the alteration of an iconic image and the sale of an unauthorised work from the original artist\u2019s legacy.<\/li>\n<li>The incident has stirred debate on the ethical boundaries of AI in photography and its potential commodification, highlighting the need for clearer guidelines in an unregulated art world.<\/li>\n<li>Danziger&#8217;s process, though involving extensive human intervention, still left much of the original image intact, which critics argue undermines both artistic integrity and the original photographer&#8217;s intent.<\/li>\n<li>The fallout exposes broader concerns about copyright, ownership, and the protection of artistic integrity in the face of rapidly advancing technology and market forces.<\/li>\n<li>The controversy reflects larger discussions about the evolving social contract and moral responsibilities in an increasingly digital and capitalist art environment.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comment | Furor over \u2018colourised\u2019 Ansel Adams photo reflects problems with the art market, not&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":224661,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cdn.sanity.io\/images\/cxgd3urn\/production\/ecdea34e197c6d1403d76e228b0596e57a19ab0d-1614x1160.jpg?rect=0,96,1614,968&w=1200&h=720&q=85&fit=crop&auto=format","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-224660","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-artificial-intelligence"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/224660"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=224660"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/224660\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":224662,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/224660\/revisions\/224662"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/224661"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=224660"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=224660"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=224660"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
